 Want more control over your Georgia power bill? Our smart usage rate was designed to do just that. By making small changes to how and when you use energy, you could save on your annual energy bill. First, let's look at how you use energy and why it matters. Your electric appliances are some of the biggest energy users in your home. If they generate heat, they require a lot of energy. To reduce your monthly bill on the smart usage rate, simply use these appliances at different times of the day. The smart usage rate puts you in control of how you choose to use energy. It's also important to control when you use your energy, especially during the summer. From June to September, the demand for usage is highest during the hottest times of the day. So by shifting the use of your AC and larger appliances to mornings and evenings, you'll see even more savings. You can take even more control of your savings by using a programmable thermostat. Simply use the schedule feature to set times and temperatures the way you want them. It makes savings simple and easy. That's smart usage.
